NEWS FLASH

Miss USA Comes Out For Marriage Equality | Alyssa Campanella said on television today in response to a question about whether she supports equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples, “I believe in equal rights. I believe that everyone deserves equal protection.” And it turns out she posed for a NOH8 ad, too. Though of course, as Miss Congeniality teaches us, there’s only one appropriate answer for pageant contestants when asked about policy priorities: “That would be harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan. And world peace.”
